energy snacks

[Guest whitser]

alright comrades, a quick question do any of you bring out a little snack or treat on a nights lamping for your lurcher to stop their blood sugar dropping? if so what do you use.

I've heard a little bit of MARS BAR does the trick

No, i give them something light a few hours before i go out, and i take recharge with me, give it periodically whilst out then more with their dinner after they get home.

However when im out with the lads, i have to take them some energy food We have a break half way, with coffee, tea. And i usually make my tuna surprise sarnies and a buscuit or cake

MOLL.

Two articles covering the same material. I used Dr Reynolds suggested 1.5 grams of maltodextrin per kilogram of body weight within thirty minutes of a strenuous workout or hunting, last year and the recovery rate was impressive.

The articles (it’s been a awhile since I’ve read them) most likely markets the Purina energy bars that the company produces. It’s just as effective, and cheaper, if you purchase the maltodextrin from a brewers supply house and add it to baited water after a hunt.

If you feed raw, it can be added to some of your mince.

 

Best,

Gregg

Chocolate contains theobromine, which is very toxic for dogs. A bit of chocolate probably only gives them an irretable bowel, but who would want to give 'em the squirts just before running?

 

I give em a small light snack before (eg a bit of salt-free stock), and a good meal when the've settled at home (>1hr after excersize)

 

Cheers
